H1N1 Flu Clinic Planned for November 4

The city’s first H1N1 flu clinic — for those in targeted populations only — is coming up. The walk-in clinic is planned for 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Wednesday, November 4, at City Hall.

There is limited vaccine availability, and vaccines will only be given on a first-come, first-served basis to the following people: 

• Health care and emergency medical services personnel who have direct contact with patients or infectious material;
• Pregnant women;
• Household contacts and caregivers for children less than 6 months old;
• All children age 6 months to 4 years; and 
• Children and adolescents ages 5-18 years who have a chronic medical condition associated with higher risk of complications from influenza.
